SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The
tool can be used to print all of the IP addresses in a given range.
It can enhance tools that only work on one host at a time, e.g.
whois(1).

The
tool accepts the following command-line options:

-c

Print the range in CIDR notation.

-d delim

Set the delimiter to the character with ASCII code
delim
where 0 <=
delim
<= 255.

-e <x.x.x,x.x>

Exclude ranges from the output.

-f format

Set the format of addresses (hex, dec, or dot).

-h

Show summary of options.

-i incr

Set the increment to 'x'.

ENVIRONMENT

The
tool's operation is not influenced by any environment variables.

FILES

The
tool's operation is not influenced by any files.

EXAMPLES

Display all the addresses in a reserved subnet:

prips 192.168.32.0 192.168.32.255

The same, using CIDR notation:

prips 192.168.32/24

Display only the usable addresses in a class A reserved subnet using
a space instead of a newline for a delimiter:

prips -d 32 10.0.0.1 10.255.255.255

Display every fourth address in a weird block:

prips -i 4 192.168.32.7 192.168.33.5

Determine the smallest CIDR block containing two addresses:

prips -c 192.168.32.5 192.168.32.11

DIAGNOSTICS

STANDARDS

tool.
